Once you earn his trust and he grows accustomed to your presence, you'll witness a transformation.

HERCULES
Hercules is a gentle giant with the sweetest heart you'll find. Unfortunately, Herc has cancer, so he is seeking a sympathetic lap to lay his beautiful head on and get much deserved ear scratches.
The special person who adopts Hercules should have a quiet home with no other animals to minimize stress for him. He also loves some yummy stuffed kongs and taking warm naps. We hope Hercules can find his person soon so that he does not have to spend any more of his precious time in the shelter.
ATHENA
Athena is an irresistible 4-year-old dog with a captivating personality and a heart full of love. She is eagerly awaiting her dream home and is ready to fill it with joy and companionship.

Athena's gentle disposition and patient nature make her an excellent choice for families with young children. Athena understands the importance of being gentle around young ones and is likely to form a special bond with them, providing endless moments of love and loyalty.
GIO
Meet Gio, a distinguished yet sprightly canine in search of a new beginning. Though his fur may be graying, his zest for life remains unscathed, effervescing with vivacious energy and unwavering affection. Gio requires a home that mirrors his active lifestyle, providing ample opportunities for exercise and mental engagement to maintain his well-being and cheerfulness.
Ideally, Gio seeks to join an adults-only family due to his impressive size and strength. His exuberant, sometimes clumsy, nature might pose challenges around small children. Gio derives immense pleasure from playing tug-of-war with shelter staff, destructing squeaky toys, and occasionally, shredding blankets.
Gio is passionate about outdoor adventures like walks, runs, or frolicking in a spacious yard. Rainy, cold days find Gio more inclined towards indoor activities such as puzzle games or cozying up with his humans.
NUGGET
Nugget is a charming 13-week-old guinea pig who is searching for his dream home. This adorable little bundle of joy is currently available for adoption and will steal your heart with his endearing personality. While Nugget may initially appear skittish, he is making remarkable progress in his foster home, where he receives ample socialization and care. His trust in humans is growing by leaps and bounds, and he's becoming more comfortable with every passing day. Nugget's inseparable companion is Tofu, another delightful guinea pig, with whom he shares an unbreakable bond. These two adorable friends will bring double the joy and laughter to any lucky family who opens their hearts and homes to them. If you're looking for a precious duo to add to your life, Nugget and Tofu are eagerly waiting to embark on their new adventure with you.
